Bhubaneswar, July 14 -- In what could be good news for the Covid ravaged private transport sector in Odisha, the State Government is planning to waive tax for private bus owners in the State.

Steps are being taken to ensure normalisation of bus services post lockdown, stated Transport Minister Padmanabha Behera on Wednesday.

"Currently, private buses are plying in as many as 20 Category A districts. Decision regarding plying of buses in 10 Category B districts will be taken soon," said Behera.

He said along with waiver of taxes, other facilities are going to be extended to the public transporters as incentive.
